Planning to move your online business from BigCommerce to X-Cart? Cart2Cart provides a seamless, automated solution to transition your store data without the need for technical expertise or manual data entry. By migrating to X-Cart, you gain the flexibility of a robust, self-hosted platform while ensuring your business continuity remains intact.

Why Migrate from BigCommerce to X-Cart?

While BigCommerce offers a powerful SaaS environment, many merchants choose X-Cart for its open-source flexibility and extensive customization capabilities. Our migration service ensures that your transition is handled with precision, preserving your historical data and store structure.

  • Zero Downtime: Your BigCommerce store remains fully operational during the data transfer.
  • Data Integrity: We ensure that relationships between products, categories, and customers are maintained.
  • Automated Efficiency: Skip the complex CSV exports and imports with our direct API-to-Bridge connection.
  1. Connect your BigCommerce Source Store: Start by selecting BigCommerce as your source platform. You will need to provide your store URL and API credentials (API Path and Access Token) to allow Cart2Cart to securely retrieve your data.

  2. Connect your X-Cart Target Store: Choose X-Cart as your target platform. Download the Connection Bridge files and upload the "bridge2cart" folder to your X-Cart root directory via FTP/SFTP. This establishes a secure link for data import.

  3. Select Data Entities: Choose the specific data types you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, orders, and categories. You can also map customer groups and order statuses to ensure they align with your new X-Cart setup.

Enhance Your Migration

  • Clear Target Store Data: Wipe existing data on X-Cart before the migration to avoid duplicates.
  • Preserve Order/Customer IDs: Keep your original identification numbers for historical consistency.

  • Change Products Quantity to 100: Automatically update out-of-stock items to be visible on the target store.

Will my BigCommerce store be offline during the migration?

No, your BigCommerce store will remain fully functional throughout the process. Cart2Cart only reads data from your source store, so your customers can continue to browse and make purchases without interruption.

How long does the BigCommerce to X-Cart migration take?

The duration depends primarily on the number of entities (products, customers, orders) being transferred. A typical migration can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.

Can I migrate my SEO rankings?

Yes, by selecting the "Create 301 redirects" and "Migrate categories and products SEO URLs" options, you can preserve your search engine positions and prevent 404 errors after moving to X-Cart.

Is it possible to test the migration before paying?

Absolutely. We offer a Free Demo migration that allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to your X-Cart store in about 10-15 minutes, so you can verify the results.

What happens if the migration fails?

Our technical support team is available to assist you. Additionally, we offer Migration Insurance plans that allow you to restart the migration if any issues occur due to incorrect store configuration or server errors.

Do I need technical skills to use Cart2Cart?

No technical skills are required. The migration wizard is designed to guide you through each step, from connecting your stores to selecting data and launching the transfer.

This app performs greatly

This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
